2024 post: Throughout 2024, we're looking back at the 100 year history of art at the Mulvane. This work is part of a suite of 34 drawings by Edward Navone, who was an art instructor at Washburn University for many years. The drawings have intricate, dense imagery related to each of the first 34 cantos of "The Divine Comedy," a 14th-century narrative poem by Dante Alighieri. These cantos make up the section "Inferno," in which Dante journeys through Hell and encounters a variety of tormented souls.
